I've had the problem for a few days now that the picofly doesn't start. According to the LED, the D0 soldering point is what I measured earlier. I have a value of 1.663v at point C. Where is the error? Can you help me? I don't feel like opening the switch anymore

There are two threads about the picofly you will get better answer if you ask on that threads, you can use the search bar at top of page.

this is not a picofly chip, it's an rp2040-based hwfly. you won't get any support in the picofly threads.

Picofly is the nick name to raspeberry pico (RP-2040) - Hwfly hybrids on the wild.
the two large threads support the rp2040-zero/rp2040-tiny chips only, not these undocumented things

but to be constructive instead of just complain, the issue could be related to the fact that whoever makes these chips puts way too strong resistors on the dat0/C point connection, over 200 ohms. try switching to a 100 ohm resistor instead

I also replaced the chip from picofly to hwfly, both have this error, it's the dat0 contact that doesn't have a proper connection, a bit of fiddling then it works, as soon as I shut down the switch completely it no longer works and boots into the OFW

So rework the DAT0 adapter? What do you mean with fiddling exactly? Push the adapter in gently? Did you solder the ground anchors on the shield and the anchor next to the eMMC?

    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
